Good to see us get the win, so comprehensively against a callow Villa side. The non penalty call probably shifted the match further in our favour, but I'd suggest from the stats, that it was only going one way anyway, despite only having 41% possession we did more with it than Villa, more shots, more shots on target, and obviously more goals.
Liking how the cups are being used as a way to bed in new players, as mentioned previously. Anyways winning inspires confidence, and we've built a squad which has enough about it to be rotated so players can be fresh for all competitions. Only Vertonghen. Walker and Paulinho started on the weekend, so it shows we have some strength in depth, and Chadli got on the scoresheet as well. Nice to see Paulinho get another goal, seems like that talent and timing for getting in the box hasn't left him. Think we'll need him to score some more before the season ends.
Also good to see Holtby getting some extended playing time in that position behind Defoe, Needs to keep the pressure on Eriksen.
